I notice there are many Suttas chanted daily or in some occassions. From regular chanting book or Theravada Buddhist website such as accesstoinsight.com we can see lists of Sutta and Paritta for example Karaniya Metta Sutta, Jaya Mangala Gatha, Jaya Paritta, etc. But why we can't find Buddhaguna in the regular classical Theravada Paritta or Chanting book? (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/thai ... antra.html)

Is this Paritta or so called mantra was composed by Ajaan Lee or what? Is this mantra for lay people and monastic member or only limited to particular people? The reason I ask this is because it seems that it is not so widespread and known/ chanted on a regular basis in most the Theravada temple as far as I know. Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok so I asked a monk from Burma, his short answer is I encourage you to stick to the original teaching of the Buddha. This divine mantra or any other paritta could be composed by a certain monk, please take a look the 11 Paritta. That is pretty much what he said. I don't know what most people think particularly members of Dhammawheel. We can see that the 'Divine Mantra' is actually salutation of Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, taking refuge in Triple Gem and the chanting of the 6 elements.

As far as I know, even though the 11 paritta also composed by the monk, the difference maybe it was composed much more earlier? Please correct me if I'm wrong. If that is correct then what is the different between this Paritta and that Paritta? Thanks.

Uh, the parittas are all from the Sutta pitaka, they were not made up by 'some monk'.

Somdej Toh said that “Whoever recites Phra Katha Jinnabanchon everynight, they may not fall down to Abaiyaphoom (One place of Hell, Buddhaphoom is opposite place where Arahants go). Reciting any other Katha for 100 years, will not be as good as reciting Phra Katha Jinnabanchon. This katha, when recited with good concentration will;a. Protects from all harmful cause.b. Improves their lives.c. Any place they go, they will gain the friendship of people they meet.d. It is believed that it can also make Holy Water to cure illnesses.e. Or any purpose their mind focuses to.

Due to the fact it is a powerful Katha. It is the best advise for practitioners of this Katha to keep their precepts well. Many Luang Poh and Ajahns have advised as such especially the precept of sexual misconduct. No prostitution and sexual misconduct with wives of others.
